To France

by Mike Oldfield

Album: Discovery

Taking on water
Sailing a restless sea
From a memory
A fantasy
The wind carries
Into white water
Far from the islands
Don't you know you're

{Refrain:}
Never going to get to France
Mary Queen of Chance will they find you
Never going to get to France
Could a new romance ever bind you

Walking on foreign ground
Like a shadow
Roaming in far off
Territory
Over your shoulder
Stories unfold you're
Searching for sanctuary
You know you're

{au Refrain}

I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange
How dreams fade and shimmer

{au Refrain}

I see a picture
By the lamp's flicker
Isn't it strange
How dreams fade and shimmer

{au Refrain}

Never going to get to France
Never going to
Never going to get to France
Never going to
Never going to get to France
Never going to
